Well, another morning of Chinese dominating the dialPick any channel, Chinese...Well, almost. Korea was good on 1170 mixing with KPUG, the usual Russians on 549 576, Thailand only on 1575 this morning. I had hoped for a good SE Asian morning with some Filipinos, but no Filipinos noted. Even Vietnam 675 was not very good, but Huhhot was there generally o/Vietnam. 1206 was local like at times as well as 621. Both Northen China.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 4 Oct 2009
About an average fall morning here, though as Patrick noted, it was the Chinese dominating. The Japanese were below normal, with little noted from second tier stations. China had audio on 639, 918, 945, 981, 1017, 1044, 1206, 1323, 1593, with 981 and 1044 doing the best. Finally heard a bit of audio on 675, but since Patrick mentioned Vietnam wasn't strong today it may not have been them. Korea was in on the regular channels, with the south heard on 972, 1134, 1170, 1566, and the north on 819. An unID on 603 was likely Korea also. A number of others to be checked on the Perseus recording, but that might be a while, as I need to check last night's TAs too. That's it for me for a few days, as the job has me out of town. As usual, that happens when conditions are great! 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] TP for 4Oct09 from Victoria: Good Asian morning
Listened this morning between 13:18 and 14:30 UTC. A more northerly reception this morning, with southerly stations weaker than usual. Overall a very decent morning, especially on the higher band (but I started there and worked down, so perhaps a bias). The JJ 1st tier stations weren't nearly as strong as usual, especially 594, although Hokkaido 567 was booming in. Here's the list, with 6 unless otherwise noted. By the way, SF72, A0, K2. 558: KBS2 at 9 at 14:06 567: 9 level NHK1 at 14:07 and weak cochannel. 594: 8 level NHK1 and cochannel at 14:07 603: 9 level KBS2 612: Brisbane at 8 level 621: CC and North Korea at 7.5 level. North Korea on 621.905. The neat thing is I'm able to notch out either the N.K. or Chinese station (on exactly 621) with Perseus and hear either one or the other station! Very impressive, and even more so on the waterfall where the notch simply shows as a black hole! 639: CNR1 at 9 level 14:04. 640: Thanks to Colin for messaging me that KYUK was in loud and clear at 14:03 with local weather. Very good. 657: N. Korea at 7 702: 6 level. 2 stations on 702 and 702.031 720: 6 level 720 and 719.84 738: 7 level at 14:13 747: 9 level NHK2 with English lesson at 14:13 756: 7 774: 9 level NHK2 with English lesson. Still 8.5 at 14:30, but lacking the punch of yesterday. 783: 7 level with pop music at 14:15 and oriental cochannel. 792: 7 level 801: 7 level talk plus wobbly N. Korean on hi side today. 819: no audio but 2 transmitters on 819 and 819.076 828: 8 level NHK2 at 14:18 837, 846, 855, 864, 873, 882, 918, 927: all 6 936: 9 level CC at 13:18 945: CNR1 at 14:20 7 level 963: CRI RR at 7.5 at 14:21 1008 1017: 7 1134, 1143, 1152: all 7 at 14:22 1161: CC at 13:59 at 8 level 1170: 8 level strong CC music, and another CC speaker at 13:57 under KPUG, so perhaps both KBS and VOA? 1179 1188: 7 level 1206: As Patrick pointed out, very strong today at 9 level in KK (Yanbian) on 1205.981 1215, 1224, 1233, 1242, 1251: 7 level. Perhaps VOR CC ?//7300 plus another CC station plus possibly yet another cochannel at 13:52 1260: Prob JOIR over domestics at 8 1269: Several cochannels. CC and wk muddy audio from someone else. 7 level. 1278: 8 level JOFR 1287: 9 level JJ at 13:44 1296, 1314 1323: 7 level with music 1332: ? CC at 13:43 7 level 1341, 1359, 1368 1377: CNR1 at 8 level 1386 1440: 8.5 level JJ over domestic at 13:32 1458: John's great catch. Audio here at 7 level and possibly // the SW 7270, but SW not propagating well until well after LSR here. 1467: 7 1494: 7 1503, 1512, 1539: all 6 1557: WYFR at 8 level, except for significant splatter (much more than last season) at 14:23 1566: 8 level HLAZ at 13:25 and same level at 14:24 1575: pretty much a 10 at 13:25, but only 7 at 14:24 for VOA 1584: again 3 carriers at 6 level 1593: CC at 7 1602: NHK2 parallels weakly heard at 7 level, despite major splatter from 1600. 1701: weak audio at 6 late, with 3 carriers noted on 1701.008, .034 and .050 That's it from a windy but blue sky Victoria! .Walt Salmaniw ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] A Good Asian AM on Orcas, Too.
I bet that the guys at Grayland will have really cleaned up this AM. Here on Orcas, I finally got things fired back up and it was a very good mid-season Asian morning here. Conditions seemed variable. VoV on 675 was almost absent during parts of dawn and at other times, it was romping in near S-9. I noticed the same variability on some off the Korean signals, too. Interestingly, 810 was dominated by CC this morning. I think that must have been Zhejiang RGD News from Hanzhou, on the central coast near Shanghai. I'd like to catch an ID, but did not. 819 North Korea has been the nicest, cleanest signal from the Koreas (except maybe for 1566) all fall, but this morning, it had a big fat spur on one side and was distorted. The most interest for me this AM was 882. The dominant signal was CC, likely Dalian, but under that was an unusual (weak) Asian language and they played distinctive tones at 1400 TOH. If I got a decent recording, I'm gonna try to ID... hoping that it was Sri Lanka, using TWRs 400 kW transmitter. Have all fingers and toes crossed. Mostly, like Patrick said, China, China, China.

Re: [IRCA] A Good Asian AM on Orcas, Too.
China China China is how I would describe yesterday at Grayland. The Japanese were either missing then or had to contend with Chinese interference, as did many of the usual Koreans (1566 for example was being buzzed by something in Chinese and freqs like 1053 and 1422 were mostly Chinese). We heard several IDs that didn't match anything listed, so Mister PAL Log has some work cut out for him. This morning was closer to average Grayland conditions, being good from just about everywhere. The Japanese were abut normal levels, as were the Koreans, but Chinese stations were still in abundance. 1251 sounded like a Chinese graveyard channel at times. Sri Lanka 1548 was in again, though not as well as Saturday morning. I had 810 China today as well but it was always well below KGO. Chuck and Nick had the Russian there, but I apparently didn't tune past at the right time. We also had something in Chinese on 882, as well as something in an unusual language - we're hoping it's Mongolia but it will require re-listening to audio files to tell what it was. A couple of strange ones from today - 648 at 1420 had weird flute music with a middle east flavor to it. Not sure what that was, maybe Tajikistan but probably something more mundane. 1107 again was heard with weird singing accompanied by a plucked instrument and, later, had talking in a language I didn't recognize. We now have lots of files to listen to. Bruce, back from Grayland John H. Bryant wrote: I bet that the guys at Grayland will have really cleaned up this AM. Here on Orcas, I finally got things fired back up and it was a very good mid-season Asian morning here. Conditions seemed variable. VoV on 675 was almost absent during parts of dawn and at other times, it was romping in near S-9. I noticed the same variability on some off the Korean signals, too. Interestingly, 810 was dominated by CC this morning. I think that must have been Zhejiang RGD News from Hanzhou, on the central coast near Shanghai. I'd like to catch an ID, but did not. 819 North Korea has been the nicest, cleanest signal from the Koreas (except maybe for 1566) all fall, but this morning, it had a big fat spur on one side and was distorted.

Re: [IRCA] More Victorian TA audios
We had a few TAs last night at Grayland. They were best on Nick's ALA loop, in part because the Beverage faced the wrong direction for TA's. 963 was the strongest, with audio just below language recognition level, but likely Finland. 1053 had weaker audio seemingly from 2 stations, possibly a mix of Britain and Libya. I noted hets or carriers from 1215 1134 999 1512 1269 1251 1161 855 1179 1341 but no audio. It was nice to put some TA icing on the Grayland cake.

Re: [IRCA] A Good Asian AM on Orcas, Too.
Thanks very much, Bruce! I'm sorry that I had to be here on Orcas this weekend. It sounds like you guys did very well and had nice weather, too. The 882 that I had today did have some kind of bell or tonal Interval Signal at 1359:45. If it was Sri Lanka, it was TWR themselves and they are pretty DXer-friendly. I'm gonna check that out by e-mail. Good luck on the PAL work. Speaking of which, did you guys hear CNR1 on 675??? I'm almost certain that I did, but it is unlisted.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-4... Chinese here, too
Hello All, Although the DXing environment was far less desirable than Grayland, the Chinese were unusually strong here, also. Again testing the new 9' box loop in the back yard, around 1358 there was pretty strong Chinese music and then Chinese speech on 1053 kHz, with only a weak trace of a co-channel ((Korean or Japanese). China has never been heard here on 1053, so I'd be interested in how the Grayland group (Bruce, Chuck and Nick) identifies this station, which was also mentioned by Bruce in his short report today. Besides this, the perennial weak Chinese on 792 kHz showed up around 1405, in the typical male speech format-- but not strong enough for any ID clues. 756 also seemed to be Chinese, but too weak to make sure. In general, the conditions seemed a little down from yesterday, with stations like 675-Vietnam and 666-JOBK not as strong as usual. As typical, the morning enhancement fizzled out here around 1410 UTC, after about 20 minutes of good conditions. It's always a scramble to choose the best frequencies during this all-too-brief enhanced period, which seems far shorter than the leisurely openings at Orcas, Victoria, and (of course) Grayland. 73, Gary Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main Receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP Slider (.7.5 loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' PVC frame tuned passive loop (in back yard) ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] 1458 Nei Menggu RGD + ?TWR Sri Lanka?
I was able to spend some time this evening working with 20 minutes of audio from 1458 on October 1. I was unaware of the 1440// that Chuck mentioned hearing. Its not listed in PAL... or at least I couldn't find it. While I was hearing 1458, I did check the SW//s that PAL has for that Nei Menggu outlet and found 7270 active. The top signal on that frequency was a strong Japanese signal, but under that, unmistakably, is the same stuff on 1458, so off that report will go, with fingers crossed for a sympathetic staffer who reads English. I've not had time to deal with the very-maybe-tentative 882 TWR yet, beyond processing the recording. Its got bells or chimes as an interval signal at 1359:45 and then possibly two sets of pips at the hour. If its not TWR, maybe I can post the bells and see if someone recognizes it. I'm darn sure gonna be sitting on 882 at 1400 tomorrow :) John Bryant Orcas Island, WA, USA Winradio G313e and various Ultralights Wellbrook Phased Array + Superloops ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] 850 Nome in at very good level
First time I've heard KICY during our local evenings at excellent levels. Just booming in on 850 at 05:33 UTC. Could be a good Alaskan night?
